BKM has been working on NFC since 2008 and acts as a trusted service manager (TSM) for member banks bringing NFC to market, enabling them to share the cost of developing the technology needed to put commercial NFC solutions in place, Özgür Ayarcı, BKM’s VP of project management has told NFC World.

“There are many banks in our market and we’ll enable them to connect to Turkcell,” he adds. “As for Avea, banks using BKM infrastructure will be the first to reach Avea NFC services since Avea is developing its mobile wallet in line with our project.
